evening killing three police officers and injuring 10 on Wednesday. The blasts
went off five minutes apart at Jakarta’s Kampung Melayu terminal,

Police spokesman Setyo Wasisto said three officers had been
killed, and that examination of the scene had shown that there appeared to have
been two suicide bombers, Five officers and five civilians were wounded.

month of Ramadan which begins in 2 days time.
